Remote Start App-Works

Hi! I Have A L99 And The App. Works Well. Can Start Lock,Unlock,Make Horn,Lights Flash. Can see All Maintance , milage,Tire Pressue, Codes. It Is A Great Feature. For Remote Starts Your Car Needs To Be Set When You Leave It. Ac on,Heater On Heated Seats And So Forth As Book States For What You Want To Be Own.

I downloaded it on my IPAD hoping it would work on my 2010, but the only thing that works on it is the parking locater, It will tell you exactly where the car is parked.
it is for a 2011 car to do all the other stuff.

I believe that every part of the app works except the remote start option on a manual transmission car

I think it's not only a liability issue for a manual trans car to have remote start, it's also a cost and complexity issue. The interlocks involved to keep it from starting while in gear, plus making sure the park brake was on and bypassing the clutch safety switch. Then you have those customers that wouldn't understand why their car won't remote start sometimes. Heck you have a bunch of people too lazy to read the owner's manual to figure out how to operate simple things, like the heated seats. Can you imagine how hard it would be for them to figure out how to operate a manual trans remote start?

Totally understand......I figured that it might not start the manual trans, but figured I'd get the right answer on this board. Thanks guys!

Still, without the autostart, it's a pretty cool app!
